Chapter 2: The truth

They were out of the OR when the doctor went outside and said.

"I'm sorry but I have bad news, He's heart suffered a lot of stress. We almost lost him in there but we got him on time. He's going to be in a coma in a couple of days or so, it's totally up to the patient. I would say he is in a 50-50 situation right now. I'm really sorry. He's going to be in the ICU until he wakes up. Talking to him would be a great help that he is not alone and he has family. I'm really sorry."

The doctor left them and went inside the OR again. It was like they were having a nightmare, they couldn't believe what just happened and still shocked that Castle would be in this kind of situation. Beckett knows that even though Castle is like a kid in a sugar rush and very annoying whenever they are in a case, he shouldn't suffer from this kind of incident.

"Beckett" Ryan called out. "What did the doctor said? Is he going to be alright?" Beckett didn't answer still getting the news that the doctor has told them a while ago. Ryan didn't insist on asking her instead Beckett asks him.

"What was the intention of the guy in the station, the one who shot Castle" her voice sounded very angry at the same time concerned.

"He's name is Simon, bachelor, no family grew up in a foster home we're still finding his apartment though. And the thing is he wasn't planning on killing anyone in the station. He was getting a piece of paper with the name of Marc Lucas and the address of the station. There was someone who wanted to kill him inside the station. The CSU are still investigating the place though."

"Who would want him dead inside the police station anyway?"

"Oh yeah…" as Esposito interrupted them. "There were two guns used. The one who shot castle was a .45 and on Simon was 9 mm. A Standard issue on any police officer or a detective."

"Maybe it was a quick response on the situation. Find more on the one who shot Simon. And Find me the gun that shot Castle."

"Got it. He's going to be just fine you know, he isn't the type of man who would just let go and leave his family and friends behind. Besides, he doesn't want to see Alexis worrying about him" While the two walked out and head to the station.

Beckett stood up and looked at Alexis, she is really worried about her dad, her eyes were teary eyed but didn't want anyone else to see her weak spot. She reminded the time when she received the news about her mom. She then approached Alexis and comforts her until Castle was brought to the ICU.
